[open]Did you/do you enjoy being pregnant?

[jessi22]

I loved being pregnant!

 

[ChildByGrace]

I liked my bump most of the time and would say that I mostly enjoyed my first pregnancy. My second one I didn't realize how truely awful I felt until after the birth and I then realized that I hadn't enjoyed it at all. I felt sick from 3 days after I concieved until 20 weeks then felt ok for a couple of weeks then the rest of the time I had no energy or anything.

 

[LovesToBless]

Yes I did. I felt very well most of the time...didn't have morning sickness, although a lot of meat started to turn me off, especially seafood. Normally I'm a meat eater and I LOVE seafood.

Ironically my son is a vegetarian, and it makes me wonder if it has anything to do with it, as he hated meat from when he was a little toddler.

No. First four months I was sick from the second I woke up, and then would try to take sleeping pills at night just so I'd stop vomiting if I was sleeping (half the time I'd vomit up the sleeping pill.. so that was fail). Second trimester wasn't so bad, but I was getting so fat. Third trimester, I was a whale and just so uncomfortable. I Was also working AND going to school. So, no fun. I do not enjoy pregnancy.

I love it!

I only enjoyed 2 trimester. Than after that I got so big both times I couldn't sit more that 15 minuets without my legs going numb! Praying this time will be different.

 

[Mama von 2]

I never felt so healthy than when I was pregnant with my first, I loved every single moment, however 18 weeks pregnant with my second, I've been off work for the past 3 months because it's made me so ill, I really can't wait to have this baby just to feel 'normal' again, it's a shame because we plan this to be our second and last baby and I feel sad that I'm so ill I'm wishing this one to hurry up instead of relaxing and enjoying it as I did my first.

I enjoyed it both times, thankfully never had morning sickness, worked til both were born. I guess I am like those peasent ladies who can squat in the fields, pop out a baby, sling em on their backs, and keep on working LOL

I wasn't having a good time with it early on. I've been battling nausea and vomiting since day 1, but now that is slowly going away. I think I started really enjoying it after the first ultrasound. I really, really wanted to see the baby so I could make that connection (because I couldn't feel any movements yet), so that was huge for me. I also enjoy hearing the heart tones, too. Since the ultrasound, I try to talk or sing to him or her everyday.

I would only be okay with feeling like this for the sake of having a baby. I don't feel great or horrible, but I do absolutely love feeling the baby. I've got a week and a half to go...and it can't go fast enough!

I looooved feeling him kick and move inside of me. The anticipation nearly killed me...I couldn't wait to meet him! That part I did enjoy.

But the whole "feeling like a whale thing" I didn't enjoy...I was uncomfortable, felt sick all the time and just simply felt humungo! The gaining weight I didn't like and I almost felt annoyed when someone told me I was "glowing"...I felt like telling them the only reason I looked that way was because I was about to vomit!! I just simply wasn't a happy person. And even more so toward the end!!! I'm 5 foot and weighed 100 pounds when I got pregnant...and gave birth to a 9.5 pound baby boy who was a week early. Moving hurt towards the end. I blame my small frame for my unhappiness when I was pregnant and my small frame had a huge affect on him too. He had been pushing against my pelvic bone for the last 2 months of my pregnancy and had a huge pump-knot on his head to prove it. He turned out just fine though...he just looked a little bruised. I gave birth to him just fine, minus the 3rd degree tear, but the carrying him thing was dreadful.

So...no...I didn't enjoy being pregnant. I did, however, enjoy the outcome!! I certainly would do it again.

I enjoyed feeling my daughter moving inside me but that was about the only thing I enjoyed. I was so sore and had "morning" sickness most days. It might have been a bit easier if I hadn't had to be on my feet all day every day for work.

I loved being pregnant until the last 6-8 weeks. Getting big and uncomfortable, no good position, baby has no where to go except up into your lungs or down onto your bladder. But watching hands and feet press against your stomach and then rake across your belly, priceless. I wore pregnancy very well, no sickness but very big, 40+ lbs with each child.
